Stalking is criminal offense that is committed whenever people continually follow or try to communicate with other people for no particular reasons.  Stalking may be physical or verbal and can manifest in a variety of ways.  For example, a person may stalk another person over the internet by sending repeated emails or instant messages.  If the person feels threatened or harassed, it is considered stalking.  People may also stalk individuals over the phone or by physically following people from place to place.

When people feel that they are being stalked, whether online or in person, they may report it to law enforcement.  Police will then have to decipher if the person is being harassed or not.  If they conclude that the person is in fact a victim of harassment and being stalked, they may issue stalking charges and make an arrest.   Ultimately, the laws surrounding stalking and harassment tend to be vague, which is why police will have to use their best judgment after closely examining evidence and listening to statements from victims.

Once people have been charged with a criminal offense like stalking, they will face a variety of legal penalties if they are convicted.  These penalties may range from having to spend time in jail to restraining orders.  If people are charged and convicted of aggravated stalking, the penalties will be much more severe because they may have used violence against their victims or issued threats of violence.
